["LILO"] doesn't support Mach,

Q

Will GRUB allow me to hibernate Linux and activate another ?OperatingSystem (such as ["WindowsXP"]) that I hibernated earlier, i.e. a ?DualHibernate rather than a DualBoot?

Is there a way to install GRUB in the MasterBootRecord from DOS or ["WindowsXP"], i.e. a utility similar to rawrite.exe or fdisk.exe that write a GRUB MBR? What I want here is to install Linux without having a bootable floppy.

Answer by Mecki: GRUB uses several stages for loading, only stage 0 can reside in MBR GRUB will need at least a ["partition"] of its own for the remaining stages 1.5 and 2.0

Answer by RainerKulow: There is a win32 Version of GRUB, i used it to install linux from ["Windows2000"] , but i am not sure what exactly the source is ;) you can download the exe at: [http://www.skyjammer.com/files/knoppix/ grubwin32]

Just unzip grubwin32 to c:\ then run c:\boot\grub\w32grub This would patch the necessary files(under XP, not linux). Then add :

 c:\boot\stage1="GRUB" 

to c:\boot.ini

And you now have a grub boot loader on your XP system.
